Sky has announced that two new Sky Glass TVs are on the way – and you'll be able to buy its "bolder" new upgrade of the flagship set from tomorrow.
Sky Glass Gen 2 launches on Wednesday (February 12) via Sky's online shop, its retail stores, over the phone and online via Currys. Stock will also arrive in Currys retail stores soon.
The company is promising its second-generation TV has "an even brighter picture and bolder sound" than its predecessor.
Later in the year, a second product called Sky Glass Air will launch, which the company is billing as "the smarter TV for less".
Sky Glass Gen 2 TV set price and key features
The Gen 2 set will be available in three screen sizes – 43", 55" and 65" – and customers can choose from grey, silver or blue colour schemes, all of which have matching-coloured speakers.
What to Read Next
Pricing for Sky Glass Gen 2 plans will start from £14 per month for the TV set only, over 48 months. This matches the pricing of the first-generation TV on its own.
However, the final monthly cost depends on the type of TV you choose and the programming packages you buy with it.
For example, you could purchase a Sky Glass Gen 2 43"-inch set on a 48-month contract, with a 24-month subscription to Sky Essential TV, and that would cost you £29 per month.
Programming add-ons such as Sky Cinema or Sky Sports subscriptions cost extra.

Sky Glass Gen 2 runs Sky's own operating system, and it features an improved sound system with seven speakers instead of six, and Dolby Atmos capabilities built in.
Its screen has a 4K Quantum Dot display, plus enhancements to precision contrast and HDR capabilities which Sky says should offer improved picture quality and wider viewing angles when compared to the first-generation Glass TV.
The Sky Glass picture modes have also been refreshed, with bespoke settings for sports, movies and music programming among the options customers can choose from.
There's also an auto setting which selects the optimum picture mode for a particular programme.
The Sky Glass Gen 2 set has three HDMI ports, including eARC support if you do want to use your own soundbar with it. It also has Apple AirPlay 2.0 and WiFi 6 support.
The new design also features a stand that slots into the TV – and while Sky is selling its own telescopic wall mounts for an additional fee, the Gen 2 set will fit universal wall mounts, too.
Sky Glass Air key features
Sky hasn't yet announced how much the Sky Glass Air TV sets will cost, only saying pricing will be confirmed "later this year" and that it will be cheaper than the Sky Glass Gen 2 set.
However, we do know some of the key features already. The Sky Glass Air TV will have a 4K Quantum Dot HDR screen and 2.0 stereo speakers with Dolby audio.

It also features "global dimming and contrast enhancement that automatically brightens the screen for a clearer, more vivid picture", according to Sky's announcement.
Sky Glass Air will also be available in three screen sizes – 43", 55" and 65" – and three colour options of grey, white and green.
